Does imovie support .m2ts?

Will iMovie import .m2ts video and can I edit it?
If I can't, will quicktime pro be able to convert it to .mov or another file type?

.m2ts usually comes from AVCHD, which is beyond the capabilities of MPEG Streamclip or QuickTime Pro to convert. (AFAIK)
You will most likely need a third party converter such as Voltaic HD.
If you have a supported camera and connect it directly, you do not need this, but if you have the loose files out of context, Voltaic is a good solution.

Does imovie support the GoPro Hero 2 camera?

Any problems uploading GoPro Hero 2 MPEG4 files into a Macbook Pro?

I am having huge problems with importing from my Hero 2 HD into iMovie 10.0.1. It looks like the files import but then when I come back to iMovie I have a Missing Camera error over each file. I find it hard to believe that Apple would not support the Hero 2. I looked in the iMovie support area and searched for what GoPro iMovie does support and only the Hero 3 is listed. Anyone else having trouble importing video or timelapse pictures from your Hero 2 or Hero 2 HD? Very frustrating. Fortunately, I did find that even after upgrading to Maverick, iMovie 9.0 is still in my applications folder under the iMovie folder.

Does iMovie support 4K video editing and export?

Does the latest version of iMovie support 4K video export? I have seen that it supports XAVC-S from Sony, but I do not know if 4K XAVC-S is supported too.
Thank you for answer.
P.S.: If not, would it be able to in near future?

Hi Tomas J
the problem is that if you have nothing but 4k XAVC clips in the card and you try to import from the Import window
FCPX will not see the card as a Camera and only as a Volume. You cannot do Camera archives from a volume but you are able to do Camera Archives if it is detected by FCPX as a Camera. The reason I like to do Camera Archives is that that way I transfer the whole content of the SD card in one pass to a container that I can transfer to any HD that is hooked up or connected to the computer usually avoiding the main or boot drive and I can bring that container or Archive into the Favorites column of the import window pf FCPX ,opened and start importing from there. This has two main advantages 1 Once I create the archive and have all my clips in its container I can wipe the card clean and start using it again, 2 If I placed it in the Favorites colum of the import window I can open it and start importing to FCPX as if it was any card, Also you can move this container or archive any where as long as it is connected to your computer and if you have finished and don't plan to use it anymore you can store it for keeps with all the original files you shot in any storage for keeps. You also preserve the file structure of the SD card That is why I need FCPX to recognize the SD card as a CAMERA AND NOT AS A VOLUME when using 4K XAVC-S clips. The way you are doing it may be ok up to a point only for a few clips here and there but if you're preserving or making a Movie of you vacation or other events that would be an Immense task.
The Sony AX-100 camera that you have has the same file structure that the AX-33 if you import nothing but 4K XAVC-S clips without mixing mp4 or AVCHD ON THE SAME CARD Have you found the same problem????
Thank You,
AppleLou

Does imovie supports avchd files

does imovie 11 supports avchd files?

Yes, Maybe and No. For iMovie '11, the answer is spread across a number of support responses and in the details of the technical requirements of the related products.
Yes. It appears that if you keep the SD card in the camera and direct connect it to your Mac you may import and it will allow you to select the clips (as shown in the iMovie '11 import video -- Artcile VI104). (But see notes below under Maybe and No.)
Maybe. If you don't have the camera anymore, but you can copy the entire directory structure of the SD card over to a drive and copy it to a disk image then you should be able to import using an import command and choose the mounted disk image. (But see note below under No.)
No. If your resolution is set too high for iMovie then it will not import. For example, using the disk image workaround I was able to get iMovie to show that clips were present, but it would not allow importing because they were originally done at 60p (Panasonic SD90 1080p). The clip import window (as shown in Article VI104) shows different clips, but they show up as black with red "no" line across them with a "60."
If you want to import then make sure your resolution and frame rate is supported by iMovie.
The other options seem to be:
Buy a software transcoder specific to the purpose of converting .mts file to some other format for iMovie.
Transcode via Handbrake or Toast (results were not great in my opinion).
Toast workaround. Create a DVD image in Toast and mount and import the image. This works great. There is a video on YouTube for it. The one problem is that Toast will break large clips into smaller DVD files. It did not seem to lose data, but now one large clip was three our four smaller ones and the time/date data was lost. You have to reorder them in iMovie. Quality was fine. Time needed was OK. Workflow was awful because of the larger clips being split.
Rewrap the .mts file in something iMovie can handle. Seems to work fine and is the quickest so far. There are pay-for wrappers and free wrappers/automator files available.

Does imovie support canon 24f?

I am wondering if imovie supports canon 24f?

Apple has a pretty up-to-date list here you can consult. Drag down the manufacturers to Canon and see which models they have listed:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US
On the far right column there's some notes for each camera, mentions of 24p restrictions, so check to see if your camera is listed and any restrictions appearing the far right column.

Which filetypes does iMovie support?

I recently recorded some HDV footage (.M2T mpeg) for someone else to edit in iMovie. I added a soundtrack in Adobe Premiere on a PC and need to export it out. Should I convert it to something else?
Alex

the file icons have padlocks on the Mac
You can change the permissions in Get Info.
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

If you are running Lion:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

Does imovie support tod files?

Help .. I can not find anywhere i have looked so far on what files are supported in imovie??? I thought it would be a easy task.....

Does iMovie support Panasonic DVR-D300 mini RAM disc camcorder?

The camcorder manual indicates that Mac OS X 10.4 is the last one supported by iMovie. Is there an up-date available for v.10.5.2 and up?

Forest brings up a good point. What type of media (DVDs) are you using? The D300 supports DVD-R, but I use DVD-RAM. It might appear different to your Mac depending on which format you use. If you've recorded onto DVD-R in Video mode, then you will need to finalize the disc as Forest says. From that point it will be viewable in a regular DVD player as well as on your Mac. There is free software available called mactheripper which will rip videos from DVDs for you (whether from your camcorder or regular DVDs), and from that point it's the same procedure with ffmpegX to convert them to DV for use in iMovie.
I know this is a lot of hassle, but once you get your workflow down it'll be easy for you.
Since we do seem to be the only ones using the Panasonic DVD camcorder, and you want to use iMovie and I have been successfully, I'll let you know how my workflow goes. First, I use DVD-RAM discs in the camcorder in VR mode. This allows you to erase and reuse the discs once the footage is safely on your Mac. When a disc gets full, I connect the camcorder to my Mac with the USB cable and turn it on. The camcorder's power cable must be plugged in (not running on the battery). Then I open the Pixe VRF Browser software and select the DVD-RAM device from the drop-down menu. It ejects the disc and asks you to reload it. Weird, I know, but you'll get used to it. Then it scans the disc and shows thumbnails of all the clips. I highlight all the clips and use the copy function to get them to my Mac. I store all the clips in their original MPG format and only convert to DV the clips I want to use in iMovie.
Let me know if you have more questions. Remember, once you get it to work once it'll be easy for you.

Does iMovie support Sony MicroMV video format?

Hi, there
I have one Sony MicroMV HandyCam (Model No. DCR-IP55E) and try to use iMovie to import the video from it. iMovie can recognize this machine (It shows the correct name and format for it!). But it can not import the video. As iMovie only recognize DV or mepg-4 format, what should I do now? Please kindly advice.
Thanks,
David

Sony videocams are very popular in the market and
this videocam is very compact and with many
attractive features, like bluetooth and internet
access.
I've been covering the photo industry as a journalist for over 14 years and frequently deal with Sony. I never said they don't make some good products, but that they always do things their own way and have NEVER made much of an effort to support the Mac community.
It is very sad that as a new Mac user, it
seems like I have to use the PC to import the clips
and then use Mac to do the editing. So is it possible
that Mac new Operating system will provide certain
software or driver for SONY MicroMV videocam in the
near future?
I certainly doubt it based on past experience. BTW, it's up to Sony to supply the necessary drivers to make things work on a Mac (or some third party) - Apple doesn't do this. Since Sony sells PC format computers, they don't seem to have any reason to do so.
I suppose you could buy a new Intel Mac and also install Windows - then you could use the Sony supplied software to get the video into your computer.
There are plenty of great camera choices that DO work with the Mac.

What audio formats does imovie support?

thanks

iMovie is flexible.
The video and DVD standard is 48khz, so so if your camcorder has multiple audio settings, choose 48khz.
CDs and itunes tracks are in 44.1khz, and these can be used in iMovie projects.
I have never tried 96khz. I don't have any equipment that records at that rate.
As for bit depth, I am pretty sure it will accept both 16 and 24. There is no way to set this parameter in iMovie.
If you do live recording into Logic Pro, you can use 24 bit depth, and then mix that into a 48khz or 44.1khz recording in AIFf, AAC, Mp3, etc. and use that in iMovie. I am not sure about GarageBand.

Does iMovie support raw video footage?

I have a MacBook Pro that is about 3 years old.
I am trying to upload video footage shot in RAW to iMovie.
But I keep getting error messages or iMovie just closes.
I can upload short clips of 10-30 seconds. But my clips of
1 -2.5 minutes fail every time.

'raw' means manufacturer-specific, less processed still-formats.
best to my knowledge, no such thing for video-codecs.
so, what do you mean with 'raw'video?

Does Adobe Premiere CS5 for Mac support .m2ts (AVCHD) video?

I am trying to import video files encoded into the .m2ts (AVCHD) format into Adobe Premiere CS5 on my Mac. Does the Mac version of Premiere CS5 support .m2ts (AVCHD) video formats? I am currently testing this with the trial before I get this new version for the Mac. Could using trial be the problem that even CS5 Premiere doesn't open it on my Mac? Do I need the full version? Thanks.

The trial does not support AVCHD for either platform.
Now, the full-paid version has no limitation, AND Adobe offers a 30-day, money-back guarantee, so if you do not like it, you can return it for a full refund, within 30 days.
Good luck,

Does iMovie'11 support Canon XA20 (1920x1080 50i) ?

I consider to buy the new Canon XA 20 camcorder, which will be available in The Netherlands shortly. In the list 'Supported camera's iMovie I read about the Canon XA20: "iMovie does not support footage recorded in 1080-50p from this Camcorder". Does anyone know if iMovie'11 supports the format: 1920x1080: 50i/PF25 (24Mbps, 17 Mbps). It seems to be possible recording in this format with the XA20.
Thanks!

"those who know, don't tell. those who tell, don't know."
I have no insights, just common sense: iM11 is FOUR years old, FCPX meanwhile offers 'everything', the average hobbyist misses in consumer-tool iM (e.g. support of AVCHD v2, plugins), and - insight info ahead! - on the other hand, Apple is busy preparing transition from Quicktime to AVFoundation. And, looking beyond Cupertinos horizon (I have this priviledge as a non-Apple employee), 'video' gets more&more popular, Vine, Facebook, Instagram, to mention a few. Integration of these 'social networks' is another area .......
so, it's just an 'educated guess' when and what will happen.-
October would be my choice as marketing-expert.
And October has 5 Tuesdays this year ... we'll see.-
